Hayden Celentano
Hello and welcome to my lively website! I'm currently pursuing a B.F.A for Film at Syracuse University with a minor in Creative Writing.
I have written and directed four short films with over a dozen crew members across multi-day shoots. I have also had my graphic design work showcased in publications, as well as chosen for the prestigious annual War Child Presents Secret 7 fundraiser. In addition, my design talent as been commissioned for film posters, album covers, logos, and fundraising banners.
Growing up, my Grandma and Dad indoctrinated me into the horror and sci-fi genres as soon as I hit double digits. This not only sparked my fascination with the strange and bizarre, but also helped me understand my queer and trans identities. Filmmaking provided an outlet to help myself and others understand who I am, and I hope to continue being fortunate enough to express myself in fictional worlds for the sake of the real one.
